Dunwall Tower. Home of the Empress and other important individuals. Outside the giant wooden doors stood Emily Kaldwin, reminiscing about this day several years ago. For those who don't know, it was this day that Emily Kaldwin and lost her mother, the former Empress, to Daud and his Whalers. She had been kidnapped by them and given to the late Pendleton's until she could take the throne. Her late father, Corvo the Lord Protector, had rescued her and taken her to Havelock and the Loyalists Conspiracy. After that Corvo had gone after Sokolov, who'd eventually learn to work with Piero to make a cure for the plague, and the Lord Regent and former Spymaster. After he did all that, they betrayed him and taken her to Kingsparrow Island, until Corvo rescued her.
After that and ensuring her safety, Corvo had disappeared. A few years later a would-be assassin had tried to kill her as she roamed the old Flooded District. That's when she formally met Daud and the last few Whalers. Instead of disappearing, he had told his assassins to leave. Then he told her about what her father did and said he would try and repay the debt he gained when Corvo spared him. From that day, he became the new Lord Protector.
"Feeling nervous?" asked the current captain of the guard, Alexi Mayhew.
"A little, but if I can sit through a meeting with no pants and a straight face, I can handle anything" Emily snarked as Daud arrived with a salute from the guards at the door.
"Either way, we should be careful. Today is an important day and if we mess up we'll lose support" Daud said bluntly as the doors opened and they walked in, Alexi leaving them to handle guard business.
They stopped in front of a picture of Jessamine Kaldwin, the previous Empress. "How can anyone celebrate the day an empress died?" She asked, Daud just kept silent on the matter.
Emily took her seat on the throne located at the end of the room. Captain Ramsey, a high ranking member of the royal guard stepped up and announced "May I announce the Duke of Serkonos, Luca Abele and his soldiers!"
In the room walked a rotund man in noble attire, escorted by some sort of machines with blades for arms and an avian mask which stopped at the sides and saluted while guards in blue carried in what looked like a small carriage made for one person. "Empress Emily, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, and I brought gifts" he said, Emily already didn't like him.
"And what gifts did you bring Duke Abele?" she asked civilly as the Duke bowed and replied "Why the gift of family. May I introduce your new Empress and sister of the late Jessamine Kaldwin, Delilah Copperspoon!" he announced as a women with short hair exited the carriage.
Daud's eyes widened when he saw her. He remembered banishing her to the edge of the Void. "How did you escape? I banished you to the very edge of the Void!" he shouted in shock.
Delilah laughed before saying "Wouldn't you like to know Daud? Well I won't tell you. I'm just here for what's mine." she simply said.
She snapped her fingers and the Clockwork Soldiers, the men in blue and most of the guards in the room surrounded Daud and Emily. Daud activated the powers given to him by the Outsider and all anyone say was the soldiers surrounding them being killed all at once. He tried to stab the Witch through the heart, and he did, but she didn't die, and a root wrapped around him and she tried to take his power. Only, she was stopped. A humanoid figure seemed to appear from a flash of light. A sword, Corvo's sword, cut through her hand and freed Daud from the root.
The figure looked like it was wearing the uniform of the Lord Protector, except the cuffs had that symbol of the outsider on them and the gloves were replaced by black gauntlets that ended in points. It had a hood with glowing marks of the Outsider over where his ears should be. But he was wearing a mask, Corvo's mask, but it looked more organic, more smooth, in fact his entire outfit looked more organic, like his own skin.
One thought came to Daud's mind, who was he and why did he feel like the Void?
